LiveBox at the Directors
Lounge Berlin
February 5-15. 2009, Berlin Mitte, Friedrich Str. 112A
Experimental cinema, short films, new media art, many terms for many
different ways to create art works with moving images. This world
beyond cinema is more vivid than ever and for 11 days we will shed
a light on the current state of art. More than 250 artists from all
parts of the world will be screened. Many of them show their work
for the first time in Europe, several films will be screened in world
premiere. Again we hope to become much more than just a festival,
a Lounge to meet like-minded folks, a club to celebrate cinema in
all it´s incarnations.
LiveBox Screening Program includes:
Chie Yamayoshi,“I
want to make a video about you”
Pierrre St Jacques,“Project for a Grey Dress in NY”
Ellen Lake,“I was Never Glamorous, I was Just Around”
Christopher Bruchansky,“On The Couch”
Elizabeth Riley,“Liberty”
Marlo Bodzick, "w_b_m (water, breath, money"
LiveBox installation:
Tim Geers:
USA, looped video. “Eleanor”, 2007, (3:11 min) gorgeously shot with reminiscences of Planet Earth and other wildlife
documentaries, yet subtly critiquing the US involvement in the Middle
East. The piece is shot tightly capturing crickets caught in a liquid
substance, presumably oil. The close-up shots depict the bugs devouring
and succumbing to the liquid. The piece is open enough to engage a
dialogue on excess as well as war.

LiveBox
is pleased to announce “I want to make a video
about you”, by Chie Yamayoshi (2005, 12:00 min),
will be screened at the Flint Institute of Art this December.
A young woman
invites strangers found on the Internet to act out intimate roles,
friend, family member or boyfriend. The piece unpretentiously delves
into issues of cyber culture, racial stereotypes, intimacy and anonymity,
danger and fantasy.

LiveBox
at Around The Coyote Festival 2008
ATC Video and New Media Arts
Curated by LiveBox
This year’s
ATC space for the Festival was the curatorial inspiration for digital
art. The site is designed for performance and its beautiful Beaux
Arts features and Art Deco Architecture serve as stage. Performance
art has a long and intimate history with video, going back to the
birth of video art in the 60s. Today technology has broadened the
possibilities and nature of performance in video and new media. This
year’s media program explores the rich context of performance
and the diversity of platforms deployed by artists in this arena.
Participating artists: Youngsuk Altieri, Wojciech Gilewicz,
Sonja Hinrichsen, Moon Na, Hye Yeon Nam, Second Front (Gazira Babeli,
Yael Gilks, Bibbe Hansen, Doug Jarvis, Scott Kildall , Patrick Lichty,
and Liz Solo), and collaborative group James Garver, Peter Kyle and

perceived. |

ROLL 42 second loop
Robert Ladislas Derr
|
"Roll"
was a playful exercise conducted in Vancouver, Canada for the Pre/amble:
Festival of Art and Psychogeography. Reminiscent of childhood activity,
Robert Ladislas Derr partakes in a dizzying roll down a hill. Roll was
a chance to introduce a sense of the irrational in the course of daily
routine.
“ROLL”
was projected on the front of the building, overlooking I90 at the North
Ave exit.

Koscielak Studio and Gallery and the residents of 1646 N. Bosworth
